A novel process and apparatus for power generation from biomass and other carbonaceous feedstocks are provided. The process integrates a pulse combustor steam reformer with a fuel cell to generate electricity such that (i) efficiencies are higher than those of conventional and emerging advanced power systems, and (ii) emissions are lower than those proposed by the new environmental regulations, i.e. one-tenth of the New Source Performance Standards. The pulse combustor steam reformer generates a hydrogen-rich, medium - Btu fuel gas that is electrochemically oxidized in the fuel cell to generate electricity. The apparatus may be configured to produce only power or combined heat and power.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à la production d'énergie à partir de biomasse et d'autres matières premières carbonées. Ce procédé comprend un reformeur à vapeur à combustion pulsée et une pile à combustible, générant de l'électricité, tel que (i) les rendements obtenus sont plus élevés que ceux des systèmes conventionnels et avancés de production d'énergie, et (ii) les émissions sont plus faibles que celles proposées par les nouvelles réglementations environnementales, par exemple un dixième des nouvelles normes de performances (New Source Performance Standards). Le reformeur à vapeur à combustion pulsée produit un gaz combustible, riche en hydrogène, de puissance calorifique moyenne, qui est oxydé électrochimiquement dans la pile à combustible afin de produire de l'électricité. L'appareil peut être configuré afin de produire seulement de l'énergie ou bien de la chaleur et de l'énergie.
